storms. The average annual number of weather-related power outages has
increased by almost 80% over the last decade.(4)
➔ More than 70% of America’s transmission lines and large power transformers
are at least 25 years old, and utilities will need to spend an exorbitant $2.2
trillion on infrastructure upgrades during the next 20 years in order to keep our

The grid is increasingly
unreliable and battery
storage is a solution
From devastating wildfires and forced outages in California to
hurricanes and major storms across the East Coast, people are
facing more outages every year.

Power outages affect millions(1)


In December 2022, frigid winds from winter storm Elliott knocked
out power for more than 1.6 million homes and businesses across
19 states.

In August 2020, a heatwave and unexpected centralized fossil fuel


power plant failures crippled California’s power grid, leading to
rolling blackouts affecting 2 million people.

In August 2020, nearly 14 million people across the East Coast lost
power in Hurricane Isaias.

In April 2020, 9.4 million people lost power in North Carolina,


South Carolina, Texas and Alabama due to a major storm.

Sunrun’s backup storage offering is a clean, reliable and


long-term solution for blackouts. It can backup critical In October 2019, PG&E shut off power to more than 3.4 million

The Sunrun network can deliver distributed power plants
to transition to a decentralized power grid
➔ Home solar and batteries are more flexible and efficient than traditional centralized infrastructure. Utilities spend
more than $130 billion per year in capital investments and we believe $13 billion could be replaced by distributed
resources.(2)
➔ Sunrun can provide valuable grid services from our fleet of networked solar and storage systems, mitigating the
need for utilities to invest in additional infrastructure, driving benefits for all users of the grid, while also providing
incremental recurring revenue opportunities for Sunrun and incremental value to our customers for participating in
these programs.

become obsolete, thus it is unlikely customers will feel Renewal values in metrics assume customers renew at a
compelled to upgrade to the “next version.” discount to the rate in effect at the end of the initial contract.
➔ No cross-selling / upselling / repowering assumed: We
have not included any other intangible benefits associated
with the customer relationship such as expanded systems,
batteries, or ancillary services such as electric vehicle
charging systems. With increased electrification (including
electric vehicles), it is likely consumers will want more
electricity, not less, and Sunrun will be in a
cost-advantaged position to provide this option.
➔ Remaining asset value beyond renewal assumption:
Sunrun assumes only 5-years of renewals following a
25-year contract, or a 30-year total customer relationship,
despite our solar assets’ useful lives extending 35 years or
more, as determined by independent engineers.
➔ Contracts auto-renew at a discount to utility rates,
which may escalate much faster: The renewal portion of
our reported metrics assumes that 100% of Subscribers
renew at 90% of the contractual PPA rate in effect at the
end of the initial contract term. In reality, customer
contracts are written to typically automatically renew at a
rate equal to 90% of the prevailing utility rate. This means
that, assuming utility rates escalate at a faster rate than our
typical contract escalators, approximately ~50% of our
customers could not renew and Sunrun would still
effectively realize the renewal value presented in our
reported metric.(1) See Appendix for Glossary of Terms.

Net Earning Assets increased to $5.7 billion
➔ We have ~$15.7 billion in Gross Earning Assets, which is our measure of the
present value of cash flows from customers over time.
➔ Projected cash flow from customers plus cash, less total debt and pass-through
obligations represents $5.7 billion in present value, which we call Net Earning
Assets. Net Earning Assets includes both recourse and non-recourse debt and
total cash.
➔ Net Earning Assets excludes other assets, such as Inventory ($353m as of 2Q24)
and a portion of systems currently under construction but not yet recognized as
deployed and therefore not yet reflected in Gross Earning Assets.
➔ Existing assets are financed with fixed-rate debt or floating-rate debt where the
vast majority of the base rate exposure is hedged with interest rate swaps. As
such, adjusting the discount rate applied to the entire fleet of existing assets with
current financing costs applicable to new asset originations is not appropriate.
Net derivative assets (total derivative assets less total derivative liabilities) totaled
$259 million at June 30, 2024 for $3.6 billion in notional amount of interest rate

this trend further in the quarters ahead.
➔ Sunrun’s accessible Subscription model with no upfront costs
provides peace of mind in a rising utility and interest rate
environment.

Storage Attachment Rates Accelerating


Storage Attachment Rate on New Installations
➔ Sunrun has now installed more than 116,000 solar and
265 MWhrs of Storage Capacity Installed in Q2,
storage systems representing almost 1.8 GWhrs of stored a 152% increase compared to the prior year, as
energy capacity. Storage attachment rates increased to attachment rates reached ~54%
~54% in 2Q.
➔ Storage attachment rates vary significantly by geography, with
Hawaii and Puerto Rico at ~100%, California ~86%(3) , and
Texas at 46% and increasing, with the rest of the country at
~5% for Q2 installations.
➔ We expect attachment rates to remain around this level for the
remainder of the year but Storage Capacity Installed to grow
rapidly.
➔ Systems with backup storage are significantly accretive to Net
Subscriber Values, adding several thousand dollars.

Project finance runway


➔ Closed transactions and executed term sheets provide us with expected tax equity capacity to fund over 313 megawatts of
projects for Subscribers beyond what was deployed through Q2.
➔ Sunrun also has $1,089 million in unused commitments available in its non-recourse senior revolving warehouse loan at the end
of Q2, pro-forma to reflect a recent upsize, to fund approximately 373 megawatts of projects for Subscribers.
See Appendix for glossary of terms.

Sunrun has achieved strong Subscriber Values
➔ Sunrun has increased pricing and adjusted go-to-market approaches multiple times since 2022 to respond to inflation and higher
interest rates. High utility rate inflation across the United States has provided us headroom to increase pricing while still delivering
a strong customer value proposition.
➔ Higher cost of capital has reduced the amount of proceeds Sunrun can obtain upfront against the value of deployed systems,
with advance rates declining in recent periods. Current advance rates are estimated to be approximately 77% to 82% as
measured against Contracted Subscriber Value calculated using a 6% discount rate.
➔ Each ~100 bps change in cost of capital results in ~3% change in cumulative advance rate.

Appendix
GAAP Income Statement
Customer Agreements and Incentive Revenue is
comprised of ongoing revenue from customers under
long-term agreements, amortization of prepaid
systems, and incentive revenue. The value of the
Investment Tax Credits (ITC) are recognized as
Incentive revenue, when monetized using a
pass-through financing structure.

The majority of Customer Agreements and


Incentives COGS is depreciation (~$532m total
depreciation & amortization in 2023). This also
includes operating & maintenance costs and
non-capitalized costs associated with
installation-related activities.

A large portion of our Sales & Marketing spend is


expensed in period, while it relates to customers
with ~20 or ~25 years of contracted revenue.

The Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests is


primarily driven by our monetization of the
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) with our Tax Equity
partners with partnership flip structures. Assume a
tax investor contributes about ~$1.8 per watt in
cash and then immediately receives back a tax
credit worth $1.3 per watt. After receipt of the tax
credit, the investor’s remaining non-controlling
interest in Sunrun’s solar facility is now only $0.5
per watt, which is repaid over about 6 years
through cash distributions and depreciation
deductions. Like the elimination of a liability, the
reduction in the tax investor’s non-controlling
interest from ~$1.8 per watt to ~$0.5 per watt is
income to Sunrun common shareholders. Because
Sunrun received this $1.3 per watt in cash through
a partnership, this income is accounted for under
GAAP using the hypothetical liquidation at book
Reflected in Sunrun’s 2023 GAAP results are two large one-time non-cash charges:
value (HLBV) method as a “loss attributable to
3Q 2023: $1.2 billion Goodwill impairment non-controlling interests,” rather than revenue.
4Q 2023: $58.7 million non-cash charge related to Sunrun’s investment in Lunar Energy

GAAP Balance Sheet

Deferred revenue is primarily


Customer Prepayments which
are recognized over the life of
the contract, typically 20 or 25
years ($873.1 million balance of
Payments Received Under
Customer Agreements at the end
of 2023).

$9.7 billion of our debt is


non-recourse project debt and
solely secured by the solar assets
(at the end of 2023).

$295 million of pass-through


financing obligations (at the end
of 2023) represent obligations to
investors who receive the
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and a
portion of cash flows from funds
predominantly under an inverted
lease structure.

Non-controlling interests
represent our Tax Equity (under
partnership flip structures) and
Project Equity investors’
interests in our funds.

34
GAAP Cash Flow Statement
Cash Flow From Operations is negative as
25-30% of our Creation Costs are expensed in
the period, while revenue is recognized over 80
periods or more. Additionally, we raise Debt and
Project Equity to fund our growth, which covers
CFO and CFI.

These investments are the capex for our solar


energy systems. Approximately 70-75% of our
Creation Costs are capitalized, the rest are
expensed in-period on our income statement.

We raise non-recourse project debt on assets,


which is serviced by cash flows from contracted
customer payments.

Proceeds from pass-through and other


financing obligations primarily represents Tax
Equity investors in inverted lease structures,
where the investor receives the Investment Tax
Credit (ITC), certain depreciation attributes, and
a share of cash flows. Following adoption of
ASC 606 in 2018, proceeds received related to
ITC revenues are treated as operating cash
flows.

Proceeds from NCI represent investments from


(1) Tax Equity investors in partnership flip funds,
where they receive the Investment Tax Credit,
certain depreciation attributes, and a share of
cash flows, along with (2) Project Equity investors
such as National Grid, which receive a share of
cash flows from the funds. In 2023, proceeds
from NCI and proceeds from pass-through and
other financial obligations averaged ~$1.81 per
watt.

Metric Sensitivity Tables

➔ Net Earning Assets excludes other assets, such as Inventory ($353m as of 2Q24) and a portion of systems currently under construction but not yet recognized as deployed and therefore not yet

Modeling residential solar
key drivers of project cash flows
Sun, utility rates, site specifics, costs
(Average Sunhours)

SUN RESOURCE VARIES


The economics of a system are driven by how much energy the solar system
produces (a function of the site conditions and sunshine), how much Sunrun charges
for the energy (which is driven by the prevailing utility rates and local incentives which
vary significantly across the country), and the cost to build systems, which also varies
by location.
A unit of energy we bill for is called a kilowatt hour, which is 1000 watts of power for 1
hour, abbreviated KWhr. We typically offer Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or
Leases which stipulate the effective rate we charge per KWhr of energy the solar
system produces. Source: ACORE, 2017
Outlook on Renewable
The amount of energy a solar system produces varies by how much sunshine the area Energy in America
receives, the angle of the panels on the roof, and any nearby obstructions which may
cause shading. The productivity of a system is measured in Capacity Utilization Factor
(%) or colloquially as “Sunhours per year”, both of which measure the amount of time
a system is fully productive, on average, throughout a year. We present these
utilization metrics in terms of Alternating Current (AC), which is the type of power INCUMBENT POWER PRICES VARY
Price per KWhr, State Average Price Presented
homeowners consume, and already considers the transition of the energy from Direct
Note: Rates also vary within the same state by utility and customer tariff
Current (DC) to AC through an inverter.
The unlevered returns we generate are a function of (1) the PPA price, which is
typically initially set at a discount to prevailing utility power prices, (2) the upfront cost
to construct the system, including module, inverter, racking, installation labor,
permitting and sales expense, which can vary by region, and (3) the amount of energy
the system produces, which is a function of the geographic location and associated
sunshine, along with site-specific factors such as roof angles and nearby shading.
For example, a 7 kilowatts sized system (7,000 watts of capacity) could produce about
10,500 KWhrs in Northern California, based on Sunhours of ~1,500/yr (a Capacity <$0.12

Cash Generation is calculated using the change in our unrestricted cash balance from our consolidated
balance sheet, less net proceeds (or plus net repayments) from all recourse debt (inclusive of convertible
debt), and less any primary equity issuances or net proceeds derived from employee stock award activity (or
plus any stock buybacks or dividends paid to common stockholders) as presented on the Company’s
consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company expects to continue to raise tax equity and asset-level
non-recourse debt to fund growth, and as such, these sources of cash are included in the definition of Cash
Generation. Cash Generation also excludes long-term asset or business divestitures and equity investments in
external non-consolidated businesses (or less dividends or distributions received in connection with such
equity investments).

Annual Recurring Revenue represents revenue arising from Customer Agreements over the following twelve
months for Subscribers that have met initial revenue recognition criteria as of the measurement date.

Average Contract Life Remaining represents the average number of years remaining in the initial term of
Customer Agreements for Subscribers that have met revenue recognition criteria as of the measurement date.

Households Served in Low-Income Multifamily Properties represent the number of individual rental units
served in low-income multi-family properties from shared solar energy systems deployed by Sunrun.
Households are counted when the solar energy system has interconnected with the grid, which may differ from
Deployment recognition criteria.

Positive Environmental Impact from Customers represents the estimated reduction in carbon emissions as
a result of energy produced from our Networked Solar Energy Capacity over the trailing twelve months. The
figure is presented in millions of metric tons of avoided carbon emissions and is calculated using the
Environmental Protection Agency’s AVERT tool. The figure is calculated using the most recent published tool
from the EPA, using the current-year avoided emission factor for distributed resources on a state by state
basis. The environmental impact is estimated based on the system, regardless of whether or not Sunrun
continues to own the system or any associated renewable energy credits.

Positive Expected Lifetime Environmental Impact from Customer Additions represents the estimated
reduction in carbon emissions over thirty years as a result of energy produced from solar energy systems that
were recognized as Deployments in the period. The figure is presented in millions of metric tons of avoided
carbon emissions and is calculated using the Environmental Protection Agency’s AVERT tool. The figure is
calculated using the most recent published tool from the EPA, using the current-year avoided emission factor
for distributed resources on a state by state basis, leveraging our estimated production figures for such
systems, which degrade over time, and is extrapolated for 30 years. The environmental impact is estimated
based on the system, regardless of whether or not Sunrun continues to own the system or any associated
renewable energy credits.

Total Cash represents the total of the restricted cash balance and unrestricted cash balance from our
consolidated balance sheet.
